Create Menu Options Breakdown
Select a Listing – This is the first thing you do when you create a new menu item. It’s where you assign your menu item to your business listing page. This has to be done for each menu item you create.
Select File – This is where you upload the image (.JPG or .PNG) for the menu item. The image is displayed as a thumbnail and can be clicked on to open a popup showing the full-size image. The recommended file type is .JPG and dimensions are 500 pixels x 500 pixels.
Menu Item – This is the title for your menu item.
Short Description – This is where you add a description for your menu item. Try and keep it as short as possible.
Regular Price – If your menu item is on sale (deal), then include the regular non-sale Price here, and it will be displayed with a strike-thru slash line. Include “$” if you want to display it.
Sale Price – This is the final sale (deal) Price. If your menu item is not on sale, and you just want to display one Price, then this is the place to put that price, leave Regular Price empty. Include “$” if you want to display it.
Note: You can include more than one price if you like, for example, if your menu item is a flower strain, then you could have the Sale Price look something like this – $10g / $30 1/8 / $50 1/4 / $90 1/2 OZ / $160 OZ
Menu Type – This is where you assign the main category your menu item will be filed under. In this case, Bongs is the main category. To create a new Menu Type (category), click on +Add New Type then enter the name you want to use and hit Save.
Menu Group – This is where you assign the subcategory your menu item will be filed under (optional). In this case, Under $100 is the subcategory. To create a new Menu Group (subcategory), click on +Add New Group then enter the name you want to use and hit Save.
+ ADD MENU ITEM – When you are finished filling in the details for your menu item, hit + ADD MENU ITEM (Save) and your new menu item will be saved and added (published) to your menu on your business listing page. You will be directed back to the main screen where you can add another menu item by following this same procedure.

How to Create Linkable Menus
You can create a menu that links each menu item to the same menu item on your website/online store to help increase conversions from your leads. The procedure is more or less the same as described above but with a few differences.

2) Toggle the Quote Button to On, it will change to a green background.
Located on the right side of your screen, under SETTINGS. This is an important step and must be done before you fill out any of the information (you could risk losing some of your work).

Here are the differences between menu item screens so you can add links to each menu item:
As you can see the price options have changed to Quote Text and Quote Link.
Quote Text – This is the area where you add the price details for your menu item. For Example, $138.99 On Sale for $116.99, or $10g / $30 1/8 / $50 1/4 / $90 1/2 OZ / $160 OZ. You can include anything you want here, but be concise and effective.
Quote Link – This is where you paste in the link URL where you want your Quote Text directed to. The link opens in the same window so your leads can focus on your website/online store.
The rest of the menu options are covered in the Create Menu Options Breakdown.
